Megan Fox is apparently set to appear in The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen's latest comedy.

The Transformers star is said to be making a cameo with John C Reilly, but details about their roles are being kept under wraps, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Sir Ben Kingsley, Anna Faris and Jason Mantzoukas will also make guest appearances.

Funnyman Sacha has been spotted in outrageous outfits for the movie, which is shooting in New York and directed by Borat director Larry Charles.

The Dictator, featuring Sacha as a goat herder and a deposed foreign ruler who gets lost in the US, has been described as "the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed".

Megan - who was famously booted from the Transformers franchise and replaced by British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the third instalment Dark Of The Moon - recently completed work on comedy drama Friends With Kids with Kristen Wiig, and has reportedly signed up for a role in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up spin-off, This Is Forty.
